Buffalo Bill's wild west show at London

away. Mr.. Cody has made out OF the ven

The greatest boon yet given to the welder
is the application of electricity. BY this
improved method, a broken bar of metal

the greatest ease.

spring. Clays for such ware are abundant,
and the business should be success here,
with proper management.
The success of the Ottawa Stoneware Co.
has been phenomenal. The ware from the
very first kiln has been excellent, and the
percent of loss In burning has been so
small as to be merely nominal. This is
the result of the employment of a potter
as superintendent (Mr. OGorman) who
both thoroughly understands his business
and is thoroughly familiar with his clays.

The Story of Thankful Heart,

One of the noblest traits of human.nature
Is the feeling in the heart which urges us
to show gratitude for any favor or benefit
we have received at the hands of another.
Selfish and cold indeed is the heart that
will not respond in grateful expression for
any act of kindness done, or that will not
award praise and give honor where honor
Is due. 1t Is an old and true saying that
we should "praise the bridge that carries
us safely over the stream" These noble
motives evidently inspired the heart of the
lady who writes the following in behalf Of
herself and her friend. 1t is a voluntary
testimony of gratitude and of praise for the
means through which great blessing was
conferred For the benefit of other suffer.

Supreme Bench,

Fourty four opinions have been handed
down from the Supreme bench, consisting Of
ADJUSTMENTS, re.nearing, Peoples, and civil
cases, decided in vacation after the close Of
the September term. Three of these cases,
only, effect La Sale county.
Wiley vs.. Steoart is the title of case, in
which tho court affirms the decision of the
lower court. Stewart was q depositor in the
bank of Wilson Bros. at Earlville, and had
given the bank officers authority to make
loans for him. After the assignment he came
in possess ion Of knowledge of an $500 note
made by j. Wilson Co. for his money. AZ
Wiley was the only responsible member OF
that firm left, he brought suit against Wiley
and recovered judgement. Wiley claimed
that there was no evidence the money was
used in the firm, and that VIM. Wilson who
drew the note could not act a principle and
agent at one and the same time.
Independent Order Of Mutual lid vs.. Paine.
Lucius Paine was one of the charter mem
bers Of Rising Star Lodge No. SO, |. o. NJ.
A., which was granted charter in June
1880. The lodge was re organized in June,
1881, Paine still being member. On the
10Th of that month he died of pneumonia,
and his widow claimed the amount OF the
benefit, 1t was contested by the order, and
Mrs. Paine was given q verdict for the
amount. The appellate court took it up, and
it then passed to the Supreme court, where
it was reversed and remanded. On second
trial, Mrs, Paine received a $2,499 verdist,
and that decision this court now affirms.
Allen vs. Jackson. Alonzo W. Allen, and
others, had been employees of the old Mar
settles Land and Water Power Co., and as
they believe, had acquired titles to certain
lots, through Roderick Clark, the president
of the company. When the property passed
into the hands Of Anna +. Jackson and his
partner, Clarks title was formed to be defect
i've, and Allen began suit to make the titles
good. On the ground that the company was
trying to affect settlements with its creditors,
the case was allowed to go by default, but
when the property was cleared of debt, and
Jackson failed to carry out his agreement to
settle, Allen again brought suit, but the
Circuit court dismissed the bill. 1t was
carried up and the Supreme reversed the
decision Of the Circuit court, and remands
it for further hearing.
The judgement Of Judge Pillsbury obtain
ed against the c. & A. Road for damages
once reversed has on re-hearing now been
affirmed, and the Judgement of $4,000,
rendered in the Will county Circuit court,
remains in the judges favor.
